preloader problem

hey.
i've made a preloader,
and i have a movie clip inside the movie clip that controls the preloader,
and i wanted the movie clip (loaderbar, instance = l_bar) to be as wide as the % loaded.
but it doesn't work.
i'm applying this AS to the movie clip:

Code: Select all

 
onClipEvent(load) {
 this._xscale = 10;
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
kBytesLoaded = _parent.getBytesLoaded()/1024; 
kBytesTotal = _parent.getBytesTotal()/1024;
kBytesRemaining = kBytesTotal - kBytesLoaded; 
percentloaded = 100 * kBytesLoaded / kBytesTotal; 
percentRemaining = 100 - percentloaded;
this._xscale = percentloaded;
}

Can you post it and I will take a look at it please. There might be an easier way to do this.

sure, i'll post the fla as an attachment.

hi try this. i have made a small change.Hope this will work.

onClipEvent(load) {
this._xscale = 10;
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
kBytesLoaded = _parent.getBytesLoaded()/1024;
kBytesTotal = _parent.getBytesTotal()/1024;
kBytesRemaining = kBytesTotal - kBytesLoaded;
percentloaded = 100 * (kBytesLoaded / kBytesTotal);
percentRemaining = 100 - percentloaded;
this._xscale = percentloaded;
}

There are also slightly easier ways to do this...I'll post more a bit later.

thanks to both.
gotta switch pcs to try it out
